One of the greatest ever! Down 20-0 and come back to kick their ass. Bradshaw's call of Jerome trying to keep up with Hopkins after the Al Harris fumble recovery "Jerome Brown, just to big and to out of shape to do anything" is one of the all time classics.

No, you're right. What it means is I was at that game and heard it with my own farging ears. You, on the other hand, were not, and are therefore completely unqualified to offer an opinion. Of course, that won't preclude you from offering one and that's why we love you.

QuoteBuddy Ryan diagnosed with cancer again; will attend Cowboys-Jets Sunday
PRINT EMAIL FACEBOOK RSS SHARE
IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Not even cancer can keep former NFL coach Buddy Ryan from being in the stands when his twin sons coach against each other Sunday night in the prime-time opener between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets.
Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan said Monday his dad was diagnosed last week with cancer in his gland that spread to his neck.
Having already beaten melanoma in 1968 and '80, and another version of the disease earlier this year, the 80-year-old Ryan said this was "less serious" except that "whenever you go under anesthesia, you never know what's going to happen." So he told doctors to postpone the operation until he returns from being in the Meadowlands to see Rob and the Cowboys play against Rex and the Jets. He said he'll fly to New York on Friday and will return to his home in Kentucky on Monday.
"They said to go ahead and go," Ryan said. "I've got to be able to do something" while waiting for the operation.
Rob said his dad's approach to fighting the disease is typical.
"That's just the way he is," Rob said. "This is a big thing for him, a big thing for the Ryans. He's just about the only guy that's beaten cancer about every time. He's been through it about four or five times. I'm sure the prognosis is great for him because he always wins."
Rob said Buddy's illness will be more motivation than distraction.
"All he taught us is 'Do the job,"' Rob said. "That's the way he is, so it's not that difficult. Obviously (we're) praying a lot for him and things have to go well because that's what it is. But he raised us to do the job. Whatever we do, we're going to be the best at it -- and that's what we are."
Buddy Ryan was as outspoken and boisterous as his boys are, a persona he could back up with his team's success on the field.
He was the defensive coordinator of two renowned Super Bowl champions, the Joe Namath-led Jets who pulled off the huge upset in 1969, and the 1985 Bears who ran his 46 defense practically to perfection. He's also known for throwing a punch at the offensive coordinator while he was the defensive coordinator of the Oilers. Ryan also had entertaining stints as the head coach of the Eagles and the Cardinals.
Rob and Rex were on Buddy's staff with the Cardinals in 1994 and '95. They've since made names for themselves, with Rex leading the Jets to the AFC championship game the last two years, and Rob winning two Super Bowls as an assistant coach under Bill Belichick on the Patriots. This is his first season in Dallas after working as defensive coordinator of the Browns and Raiders the last four years.
The brothers have squared off before, but every time remains special to the Ryan family, especially the patriarch.
"This game's important to him," Rob said. "He wants to see these two rams bat heads, and we're going to get after it."
you know he's rooting for nyj
Right - and the Cowboys are rooting for the cancer, especially Botox Jones.
4th and 26 game is on ESPN 2 right now.
ah, FredEx.
Apparently the episode of Matchmaker Millionaire or whatever it's called with him was on last week.
Holy shtein the Freddie bashing and Freddie commentary is farging gold
lol forreal.
"I hated being the security blanket! Teams don't pay you for that, they pay you for how many catches and how many yards you get!"
*Voiceover guy* "Mitchell had almost as many nicknames as he did catches" :-D
Did you catch McDougal sort of rolling his eyes at Freddie when they showed him saying "this is why I play the game?"
The Eagles really had no business winning that game. GB had 8 sacks and rushed for over 200 yards. Favre is such a fleshpop. When asked about heaving the ball that got picked by Dawkins in OT he blames it on Donald Driver not being in position. Gutless turd.
The Favre/Unitas commentary was meant to be split off into a new thread so it could be ignored, but it was so awful the server threw it up, and now those wonderful posts are gone forever.
Perfect. Getting this thing back on track...

Quote from: SD on October 25, 2011, 07:41:33 PMGod damn do I miss the vet:
I miss the aura that the Vet had. The mystique. It had that something about it that made it more than just a stadium. What I don't miss is the building itself, which for the last ten or so years of it's existance was a dump. I don't miss going to the can after half time, which usually was when everything was backing up and people were pissing in the sinks.
The Linc is a fantastic stadium, but it will never have 'it', like the Vet did.
I remember going to the Vet with my uncle and sitting in the 700 level, I didn't know what it was at the time, I was just a squirt, but it really helped to fill out my vocabulary. He had season tickets every year and would take me or one of my brothers to each game, despite my mother's protests. He didn't renew the tickets once they left the Vet, and I think may have only actually gone to one or two games at the Linc since. He watches all the games in some dive bar on Oregon Ave.
that's a great piece, but I also blame pieces like that for "glorifying" the craziness at the stadium and it's led to a whole generation of twentysomethings who try to act like "eagles fans" at games and it's farging pathetic.
i just looked through some of the last few season recaps and schedules and such and i don't remember a goddamn thing about the 2007 eagles.

No really, there was nothing great about that season. In fact they farged up their chances at a top 10 pick by winning the last 3 games for no reason. They could've had Jerod Mayo...oh wait....sorry, that's a linebacker....

QuoteBuddy Ryan made the Eagles an obsession
http://www.csnphilly.com/common/CSN/v11/bylines/philly/frank_complete.png
November 6, 2011, 11:05 am
There's never been anybody in Philadelphia quite like Buddy Ryan. His teams never won anything, but he's still revered around these parts.
Ryan, a former Army drill sergeant during the Korean War, coached the Eagles from 1986 through 1990, and even though the Eagles went 0-3 in the postseason during that stretch, Ryan did put the Eagles back on the map after the franchise had fallen on hard times with four straight losing seasons from 1982 through 1985.
It was Ryan's wild five-year tenure that really turned the Eagles into an obsession in Philly. In the 23 years since Ryan's 1988 team won the NFC East, the Eagles have suffered through just five losing seasons. They rule sports coverage in Philadelphia, they rule the airwaves, they rule TV.
It's been like that since 1988, and that's the Buddy Ryan legacy. He made the Eagles relevant again nearly a quarter of a century ago, and their grip on sports fans across the Delaware Valley hasn't wavered since.
At my very first Buddy Ryan press conference as a beat guy -- it was during a 1988 "voluntary camp" practice on the east sideline of the grass field inside JFK Stadium, precisely where CSNPhilly's office now is -- Ryan said linebacker Dwayne Jiles had reported to minicamp lacking fitness.
Here's how he put it: "He looks like a big, fat washroom woman."
That was Day 1, and there was never a dull moment during the three years I covered Ryan's Eagles for a suburban newspaper -- 1988 through 1990.
On Monday night, more than 20 years after he last coached on an Eagles sideline, the Eagles will honor Buddy at halftime of their nationally televised game against the Bears, the team Buddy led to a Super Bowl championship as defensive coordinator in 1985.
Buddy Ryan is 80 years old now and battling cancer. He leaves the trash talking to his two sons, Jets head coach Rex Ryan and Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob.
It'll be great to hear James David "Buddy" Ryan get one more cheer Monday night in South Philly. Love him or hate him, he deserves it.
That said, here are five random memories of my days with Buddy. There will never be another one like him.
<BR style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">'Greg Bell, my a**'
It's the Thursday before the Eagles-Rams playoff game in 1989, and the Eagles are finishing up a week of practice at the Falcons' old facility in Suwanee, Ga.
It's Buddy's turn at the podium, and he's asked by an L.A. writer about the challenge of facing Rams tailback Greg Bell, who had rushed for 1,137 yards and an NFL-leading 15 touchdowns that year.
"Aw, heck," Ryan tells the media. "He's a tough running back. We gotta do a good job on him."
A few minutes later, the press conference is over, and Ryan starts walking out of the room. He passes the 10 or so Philly writers, who are sitting together on the right side of the room.
And then he smiles and mutters, under his breath: "Greg Bell my a**."
Three days later, Bell runs for 124 and the Rams win 21-7.
Dinner at Mr. Stock's
One of Buddy's favorite beat writers, Tim Kawakami, left the Philadelphia Daily News after the 1989 season to take a job with the L.A. Times. Since the Eagles were scheduled to face the Rams at the L.A. Coliseum in Week 3 of 1990, Buddy made plans to go out to dinner the night before the game with Timmy and all the Philly writers making the trip to California.
Buddy gave Timmy the assignment of finding the restaurant with the best wine list in Los Angeles, and Timmy took the task seriously. He spent weeks consulting with wine experts and after examining various menus and wine lists, he finally selected a fine Anaheim restaurant called Mr. Stox for the big feast.
The Eagles had opened the season 0-2 and rumor had it that owner Norman Braman was thinking of firing Buddy if the Eagles lost to the Rams and fell to 0-3. But Buddy was in great spirits that night, especially when we all arrived at Mr. Stox and were seated at a long, elegant table in the main dining room.
After we had all settled in, the wine steward approached Buddy and presented him with a wine list that must have had 500 wines on it. We all sat there in silence, waiting to hear what vintage bottles Buddy would pick out.
Buddy simply looked at the wine steward and said: "How 'bout a bottle of white and a bottle of red?"
'I'm not brain dead'
Buddy Ryan had just been fired. It was the day after the 1990 playoff loss to the taterskins. Although the Eagles had won 10, 11 and 10 games the last three years, Ryan was unable to win in the postseason, and the taterskin loss was Buddy's third in three years.
At a press conference moments earlier, Ryan had expressed shock at his ouster, saying, "I've been fired before for losing but never for winning." Ryan told the media he had no clue owner Norman Braman was thinking about firing him and said he was already looking ahead, preparing for the 1991 draft.
A few minutes later, the beat guys were summoned downstairs to the coaching offices at the Vet and quickly yanked into one of the team's film rooms, where Buddy was holding court with a huge smile on his face.
"Hell, of course I knew he was going to fire me," Buddy said with a laugh. "I'm not brain dead."
Downhill, 100 miles per hour
Three years after leaving the Eagles, Buddy returned to the NFL as defensive coordinator with the Oilers under head coach Jack Pardee. Buddy was trying to maintain a low profile, since he was hoping for another head coaching opportunity (which he got a year later in Arizona).
With the Oilers on an 11-game winning streak after a 1-4 start, I decided to do a story on Buddy's resurgence, but I was told by the Oilers' PR guy that he wasn't doing interviews. I told them to let him know it was me, that we knew each other from his days with the Eagles, but I was told he almost certainly would turn down the interview request, and if he did talk, he wouldn't say anything controversial.
Sure.
A little while later, I got a call from Houston. Buddy would be glad to talk to me. Just don't expect anything inflammatory.
So I spoke with Buddy for few minutes about the Oilers' defense and how well Marcus Robertson, Cris Dishman, William Fuller and Sean Jones were playing. Blah, blah, blah.
Then I asked Buddy if he still followed the Eagles, who were in the process of losing six straight games, most of them in incomprehensibly ugly fashion under Rich Kotite, Ryan's hapless successor.
"Well, hell, they decided to go in another direction," Ryan said of the Eagles. "And they are. A hundred miles an hour, straight downhill."
'I ain't cut him yet'
When Buddy saw a sports writer he didn't know, he always gave the guy a hard time. Especially if the guy seemed in over his head or was taking himself too seriously. Then Buddy was relentless. It was Buddy being Buddy, and it could be hilarious.
We were in the dog days of one of Buddy's endless eight-week training camps, and a nervous kid from a tiny little newspaper somewhere in the middle of Pennsylvania -- Shippensburg maybe? -- had made the drive out to West Chester to write a story on a local fullback who was in camp with the Eagles but who was essentially camp fodder and had zero chance to make the final roster.
After practice, when Buddy talked to the media, the kid gathered up the nerve to ask about his local fullback. How's he doing? What had he shown Buddy during camp so far? What were his chances to make the team? The poor kid was just looking for a nice quote for his story.
Buddy just smiled and said: "I ain't cut him yet."
WHO is calling the plays?
There was a quiet old man named Mr. Braxton who used to work "security" at the Eagles' entrance to the Vet. Nobody actually ever saw Mr. Braxton prevent anybody from entering the stadium, but that's another story. Nice old guy. Never bothered anybody, never said a word.
After Buddy was fired by the Eagles, he spent 1991 working as a halftime analyst for TNT, which used to broadcast the NFL's Thursday night games. As funny as Buddy was, his humor did not translate on TV. He seemed a lot smaller and less intimidating sitting on the broadcast set, and his insults seemed to ring hollow.
That was the year the Eagles had the NFL's top defense, but with Randall Cunningham out all year with an injury, the offense was inept.
During one stretch, when the Eagles scored just 26 points in four games under Pat Ryan, Brad Goebel, Jeff Kemp and Jim McMahon, Ryan was asked during a live TNT halftime show what was wrong with the Eagles' offense.
He smiled, looked at the camera and said, "Aw, hell, I think Mr. Braxton is calling the plays."
There might have been five people in the world who got the joke.

He's not even top 3 in playoff wins for Eagles coaches within the last 30 years. But he's still my all time favorite coach, you probably had to have some recollection of that time to really enjoy it. I used to love watching the Buddy Ryan show and he'd refer to someone by their number. They'd show him a replay and he'd say "yeah, that was a great catch there by #80".
Every Philly team has had a team that the fans just loved...even if they didn't win shtein. These teams just took over the city:
Phillies - 93 team
Sixers - 2000 team
Flyers - Broad Street Bullies
Eagles - Buddy Ryan Eagles
i feel genuinely sad for people who didnt get to experience buddy ball
the article was great, it would have been fun to live through that era
but that doesnt take away from the fact that he didnt win anything and probably shouldnt so romanticized
you only say that because like sd said if you didnt experience it you cant understand how awesome he was to follow on a daily basis
id say he isnt loved enough....theres a decent amount of buddy haters because he didnt win....but how many completely worthless human beings have coached the team in the last 51 years and not won either
the 87 strike year was buddy at his best and it had nothing to do with football...it was all about the man he was

Yeah, his standing with his players during the "scab season" really laid the foundation for the rest of Buddy's time with the Eagles. That team would run through a wall for Buddy Ryan.
Even though they didn't end up with the Super Bowl, that was a fun time to follow the team.
Byars crushing Pepper Johnson. I love hearing the applause after Byars levels him. There was nothing like the ole school vet crowds:

Buddy calling timeout so the crowd at The Vet could see the replay on the Jumbotron was classic.

If I learned anything from Pulp Fiction, it was that those two things are not mutually exclusive.

First Eagles merchandise I ever owned. Walked into the local JC Penny and they had a display up with helmets of most of the NFL teams. To score this in Hawaii back in the day was beyond belief. Wore the thing in Pee Wee football. It was hilarious. We had several kids with Rams, Cowboys and 49ers helmets on our team. Dammit those were the days. Full pads and bare feet. Most importantly, parents stayed the hell out of it.

before one of the greatest eagles games ever.
I was wondering if anyone else caught that. Best game of Randall's career.
Someone over at PE.com had the bright idea of showing some All-22 footage of classic Eagle plays. The videos and analysis are a little short for my taste, but overall this should be a good series to watch.

Nice. I remember that Miller Lite commercial too. #Russellfap

That Montgomery run still gives me the chills. I've said it before, we will never hear a roar like that again in our lifetime and certainly not in Jeffy's Palace.
old post but gotta agree with this for the most part. i was at that game and as a 12yr it felt like the building was going to come down. been a couple games at the linc that got loud but not like on that play.
Dunno where this one goes, so whatever

The game that began my fandom - when I really understood enough to sit down and watch. I was 8.
Also the anniversary of losing to the Rams
The thing I find weird about the fog bowl is that it only happened just that once, as far as I know. Seems like it could happen again one day:

I've seen college games with some fog and snow games where it's difficult to see, but nothing like that.
Wonder if they'd cancel or play it if it happened in current times

Almost certain they'd play it. As far as I know, NFL rules still only call to cancel or postpone a game when there's severe weather that presents a safety issue for players (and fans to a much lesser extent).
Tv money today could change that - networks could make a fuss

8? Jesus J, I was _8.
That Rams game was horrible. Randall followed that up with another stellar performance a year later against the Racists. Of course Buddy had nothing to do with going 0-3 in the playoffs.
I can't remember if it was the Rams or tater skins playoff game that was played in a three hour downpour, but goddamn, it was farging miserable afterward. I had a Jeep CJ-7 at the time and the heater in that thing was a piece of shtein. The defroster was non-existent, so the entire ride home to the shore was completely disgusting.

I was 18. I thought they had a chance that year.

Dammit Ed!
Weekend wasted
Save them for next season. We'll need an antidote for what we'll be subjected to then.
No way next season is worse than this past one. Even the 3-13 season had some type of dignity to it. This shtein was just rapey, semen, on bloody vomit, mixed with stool and piss, on rye.

mike decourcy ranked all 49 superbowl winners in order
the two eagle opponents kinda finished on opposite ends of the spectrum
raiders were 44th and the patriots were 7th
Was looking for something from 1995/1996 and did a search to see if the blacked-out "For Who For What" game was ever posted to YouTube. Other than the Watters clip all over the news that day, I never saw anything else from this game (and it's an awful game that was only seen in the Tampa/Orlando area, so most of it is worth skipping). 1:50 of the last clip is the infamous moment. Had no idea Mike Breen was the PBP guy that day.

I saw that game (being in the Tampa market). Wish I hadn't. That was in the days before Sunday Ticket (at least for me) and internet accessibility, so I was rather excited to be able to see the Eagles. Of course...

The Phils' new hitting coach: "I'm not going to lie... I try to hit home runs and that's it."
That was cool
And I forgot about the Shawn Bradley quote.
Jimmy the gawd is #1 rightfully
No "we showed our youth"?
It was #12, right after "Boooooooo!"
